Soldier On - The Other Palace

Soldier On

The show headed to the Other Palace this October delves into the lives of those serving in the armed forces, as well as looking at their families and friends. The show is Soldier On and it plays at the venue under the direction of Jonathan Lewis.

The result is something that will resonate with audiences who wish to see a different side to life as service personnel, using real life stories and community accounts mixed with music and physical performance to bring a truly rounded piece of theatre to the stage of one of London’s newest venues.

The show has already been toured around the UK and has amassed a great deal of affectionate attention, so it now makes a welcome reappearance in London, where theatregoers will undoubtedly relish in this emotional, tragic and – at times – humorous production.

The show is written and directed by Jonathan Lewis, an actor and writer whose career has lasted many decades. For the stage he is known for the play Our Boys, which he wrote in the 1990s and appeared at the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End. However, he is better known as an actor, which includes the television series London’s Burning and Soldier Soldier.

For Soldier On he has recruited real people from the military, serving and retired, and they will perform alongside talented actors to bring the show to life. The result will be something that will stay with audiences for years to come.

Soldier On begins its welcome run of performances at the Other Palace in London on Tuesday 30th October 2018.
